When you look at a tree
Do you happen to think of the bees
And all the hard work that had to happen for that one tree to be
We cut trees down and live like our resources aren’t limited
There will soon come a day when only the rich can play
Only those with heaps of money will be able to afford life’s basic luxuries
Only those with piles of cash will be able to have life’s bare necessities
Water is a gift given and we choose to over use it
But when are we gonna stop acting like it’s the little people who need to lose it
My 10 minute showers will never compare to the riches waste and expensive tastes
My 2 bags of trash per week will never compare to the big corporations that trash our streets
How are gasoline companies telling me that I’m the problem here, they’re doing nothing but leaving us all to steer
Leaving the next generation the trash of their meals
Not even letting us have a taste of their fancy viel
They can deny climate change and over consumption
Spread lies and make up stories of science that they paid to have published
Isn’t the point of education to allow our world to become free
Yet we listen to the richness of cash and not the richness of knowledge
We put profit over the health, safety, and mental well being of others
Sticking up for our environment is more than caring about trees
It’s having a world where we can live more sustainably
A world where we All have access to our needs
A world we don’t deplete because of a few greedy sheeps
A world where we All live in unity
I’m asking you today, will you please join me
To help shape our earth, our lives, our futures, into the greatest potential it could be.
